From 67f96aa252e606cdf6c3cf1032952ec207ec0cf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rik van Riel Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2012 16:33:50 -0700 Subject: mm: make swapin readahead skip over holes Ever since abandoning the virtual scan of processes, for scalability reasons, swap space has been a little more fragmented than before. This can lead to the situation where a large memory user is killed, swap space ends up full of "holes" and swapin readahead is totally ineffective. On my home system, after killing a leaky firefox it took over an hour to page just under 2GB of memory back in, slowing the virtual machines down to a crawl. This patch makes swapin readahead simply skip over holes, instead of stopping at them. This allows the system to swap things back in at rates of several MB/second, instead of a few hundred kB/second. The checks done in valid_swaphandles are already done in read_swap_cache_async as well, allowing us to remove a fair amount of code.
